Core i9-10900 vs Ryzen 7 5800X3D specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-10900 is faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5800X3D in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-10900 has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-10900. Despite this, the Core i9-10900 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-10900 CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-10900. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i9-10900 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
